Considering what humans think of as "intelligent life" I'm not so sure we are not a huge outlier. We've developed a whole system where everyone needs to work harder for a simple life than without society.

I mean since we are, then aren't we more likely to be part of a trend than just a singular fluke? Like some people think they are special, but in reality most likely the totality of their attributes are average because that is how averages work.
